So, I've been away for a while. Everyone wanna know what I've been up to for god-knows-why? Nothing. I've been playing my guitar, so I haven't been able to record any music, and I've more or less given up on FL, because... No one reaaaaaally cared, I'm sure. Sooo.... Bark, bitches, former hyena, sheppy dog is back. Bark-bark, bark-bark.

Anthrocon fuckin' rocked. Here's a Day-by-Day review!

Thursday - Nine hours of bus-riding from Newark to Pittsburgh. Since my roomies weren't wouldn't be here until the next day, I ended up hanging around the Zoo talking to random people. eventually I found  el3ctrophr34k who was playing Apples to Apples. I took a few sips of his ungodly awesome homemade mead. At some point I followed him up to a small room party where I hung out and laughed at anything funny. Around 2:30 Plague went back to his room at the Omni. I went back to the Zoo and was called over by  zeroxtolerance and his posse. Was in there until the wee hours of the morning. Bought a sketch from the guy, too. But I didn't have anything to protect it with so I let him hold on to it. Unfortunately, I never got any kind of protector and I had only seen him one more time, in passing, so I ended up not being able to take it. My bad, dude!

Friday - Hung around the Zoo after Mizuki and friends left. I got my badge around 10AM, then attended opening ceremonies and the opening of the Dealer's Den. Around 3PM, when my room mates,  lukesnowcat and  thedoctor arrived. From there, I went up to the Omni and chilled out for a while. It was nice not having to lug all my clothes around. Later, I went to 2's show, which rocked ass, like I suspected. From there, I wandered the Zoo, again, to no real result, but watching the suiters was just as fun. I went up my room about an hour later to sleep in a real bed for the first time in nearly two years.

Saturday - Another bitchin' day at AC. Woke up around 11, showered, and set off to the Zoo once again, hanging out with no one in particular. Was a little lonely, but it was fun. At some point, I went back up to the room to get to know Valse a bit more, since I really didn't really know much about him at all. After a very nice get-to-know-you session, I was invited down by Valse to meet up with Luke for dinner. After a while of hanging out, waiting for a few of the snowkitty's friends, we headed down to a Japanese restaurant, which wouldn't take us all in unless we had a reservation, or something. Was only kinda paying attention. Half of us broke off - one half went in the Japanese place, Luke, Valse, a few others, and myself went down to Fernando's. Damn good food there, like always. Got meself a tuna sub. First meal I had had in two days! Afterwards, we all kinda...splintered off. I ended up at the hookah circle. Hung around there for a while, talking to the random folk there. It was some good stuff, - peach flavored tobacco with Everclear as the liquid. Got me a li'l buzzed and rowdy. That was really, fun! After we ran out of coals to fire the hookah with, we dispersed. After, I got Valse to come with me down to Uncle Kage's show. Again, funny-as-hell. The wolfie and I went back to the room to watch some TV and relax for the night. There was some point I tried to find the 7-Eleven. Little did I know it was in the Double Tree. Durr. Went back to the room after a fruitless attempt to get smokes.

Sunday - Last day of the con! Didn't really do much today. Got a jar of bananas that were soaking in rum with banana flavoring for a year and three months, courtesy of my buddy Plague Rat. I hung around Luke, his friends, and Valse again. Had dinner at Paninis and Pizza and had the best sandwich I had ever tasted in my freakin' life. Portabello mushrooms, onions, herb mayonnaise. Ugh. It was too awesome for words. Also, one of Luke's friends, bought me ice cream :3 After that, we went up to closing ceremonies, giggled at Uncle Kage's speeches, aww'd at some kitties, and saluted the new Anthrocon flag. Got a li'l teary eyed, too. God knows why. Went up to the room afterwards, alone, and promptly started watching Cartoon Network until we all went to sleep. Uneventful day, true.

Monday - So I decided to stay an extra day. Luke and Valse checked out at 10AM, I tagged along with them to the Westin to say my 'good-byes'. It was a little hard to do, but I managed to keep myself constituted well. The rest of the day was spent trying to keep my phone charged, playing Final Fantasy on said phone. Some time later, I hugged my first fursuiter. And, man, does it do wonders. Sometime later, I met  nikogor and his puppet before he went off to the bus. The rest of the day was spent hanging around the Westin until I got kicked out for loitering. Then I wandered the city for a bit until it got dark, at which point I went to the train station to just hang out until the train came.

Tuesday - Waited for the train. Talked to some of the travelers, hung out, then got on my nine hour train ride back to Newark.

Home - It's where I am now, typing this, eating those bananas. Hats off to Plague Rat for making them for me. Seriously, dude, these are super good.

Not really 'live', but, still. I'm there, typing this up.

AC So for as been pretty kick-ass. Hung around a few peeps, drunk a li'l liquor - some home-made mead my buddy  el3ctrophr34k made. T'was some kick-ass stuff. Went to 2's and Kage's show which rocked.

I still got until Tuesday morning for my train back in to 'Jersey to get here.

See ya then, yo.

I'm off to AC!

Excelsior!

Tomorrow, I leave, by train, to Anthocon.

FFFFF I'M EXCITED.

And who wants to chill with me there?

I do have a secondary character. His name is Rothgar, the Rhinoceros.

Rawrhino.

I just started playing it again and now it's sucking up all my free time.

Rouges are so much damn fun...

That's right. I've spent twenty years on this planet, Earth.

Now what? I say get pissed that I'm not yet 21.

Yep. I bought a new phone today. No longer will I be teathered to a prepaid plan! Shoot me a note if you want the number- or text the old one.

Also- Next year's AC. I plan on going. I'm currently looking for some people to room with. Any one looking for a clean and reliable Niklo to room with?

Everything really would be better with a bag of weed.

Ugh. I need a bag right now.

[bitching]I got off work hours ago, and my feet are still killing me. My social life is is shot to shit. Every day I don't work, I have class. I feel like shit.

But I'm making money. It's worth It, right?

For two reasons.

One- For being such an awesome game and eating all of my time for the past two weeks.

Two- For being such a light-hearted game, then having a depressing ending that moved me to tears. Not because of the ending itself, but because it reminded me of what I'd do for a dear friend of mine...

So, fuck you, Nippon Ichi for that bitch smack.

I'm drunk on Jäger an Mount and Do me.

I'm having fun.

Yes.

I've been drinking Jäger. Kinda living up to Niklo's new surname.
I AM ZEE MASTER HUNTER! <3

I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but I've been thinking of my future lately.

What does a 'yena do after he's through with a job in retail? Well, I've given it thought, and, in the end, I really don't want to be a scientist or code monkey.

I've come to this conclusion: I wanna be a bartender. I considered that a long time ago, and a certain pawslut kügàr reminded me of it.

This little venture can wait, though. I don't think I can take the course until I'm 21, so, it's off to fake hospitality!

Yep. I got a job at the local Walgreens. All that's left is for me to take the drug test. I...should pass. It's been longer than 30 days since I lit up.

Right-o. A few months back, my friends peer pressured me into getting a FaceBook account.

There is no point to this journal beyond telling you to look up one Kevin Perlstein on it. y? b/c im bord. fcuk u.

Oh, also, I'm tweeking the character of Niklo just a tad. Look foward to that.

First off, I got really drunk tonight with much thanks to a friend. Spent a lot of time at Burger King talking about...something. I don't remember. A great night to never be remembered.

Second, some of you already know this, but I haven't been able to get a connection on my computer thanks to a wireless card that died sometime since I was in Maine. So, messengers are a no-go, except MSN, since that's connected to my gamertag. If you want to get ahold of me note me for my semi-new cell number (The 207 one)

Just got done saying 'good bye' to a really good friend. Left me in tears for half an hour. Twice.

I'm leaving at 7AM for New Jersey, going to live with my father and dickwad of a brother.

I feel sick.

GWAR is coming out with a new album - Lust in Space.

Some of the better news of the year I've heard.

Hokay. I've been planning on returning to New Jersey for a while now. I was going to go to college, get a job, and go back to my normal life there.

Weeeell that just got shot to shit.

I got a phone call from my father saying, that if I want to come home, I'll have to be put on happy pills and sedatives. It's uncommon knowledge that I'm very strongly opposed to those forms of medications 'cause they either don't work or make things worse.

Now, what's worse is that I'm getting kicked from the place I'm living in now because the land lords can no longer afford to keep it.

And that's pretty much it. I think I'm going to need something stronger than cigarettes to get me through this...

I always thought a tongue piercing was sexy. So, off to the parlor I went. Thirty-five bucks later, and I now have a bar in my mouth.

I feel awesome.

...Me getting pulled over by the cops.

I was driving on the highway - not looking for adventure, mind you - and I sneezed. This caused me to jerk the wheel and pull into the other lane. Nothin' happened, but I was reported for reckless driving. I was pulled over soon after.

AND GUESS WHAT?! The cop searched me and the car. I was clean, other than my pocket knife. The car, however, had trace amounts of marijuana in it. I had no idea where -that- came from. I was questioned, explained my situation, and was let go without a ticket.

So, that was...fun.

Note to self - getting pulled over is scary, never do it again.

Second note - don't ever sneeze.
